Addiction is a curse. Stacking it on top of mental health issues is a nightmare. I just hope he finds peace. Somehow, someway, I hope he gets on track. I've been there. I know it. I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

Barkley is insane but I think it is too early to tell right now. As we all know, you need a quarterback to win games in this league and we don't yet know what Darnold, Allen, and Rosen will turn out to be. Just think of Goff and Wentz and their first years. Now one is leading a Super Bowl favorite and the other has a ring and would have most likely been MVP if not for injury.

That situation was the definition of the perfect time to call for 2. Chargers got hot and the Chiefs have had ridiculous luck on coin tosses. Why risk trying to stop Patrick Mahomes from a go ahead touchdown drive?

No, Reid should be praised. He timed it perfectly. Mahomes has 45 (45!!!) TD passes and over 4,500 yards passing. Throwing him in too early might have damaged that potential. He brought him along perfectly.
